Highland Dell Lodge

It was a relaxing get away. One complaint was the pillows, I like feather pillows but they aren't firm enough for my girlfriend. Maybe 1 feather and another firm for each side. However the food at the restaurant was AMAZING. The schnitzel was OMG good.

I had a great stay here! I didn’t receive a reply to email questions before, but a local phoned them for me. I was arriving after the end of check in time. They were great and left keys and instructions for me. Everything was really clean, had everything I needed and they helped with anything else I needed. Lovely helpful staff. Other rooms toilet flushes could be heard but ear plugs sorted that. Great bed, toilet and shower. Super cute room I really happy with. Super safe as I was a woman travelling alone and didn’t worry at all. Lovely breakfast to help yourself to. Really enjoyed my stay!

Small rooms but very clean and nice linens.

We had a very nice stay at Highland Dell Lodge. It had a cozy vibe. The restaurant on site was good with nice view of the mountains from our table. The breakfast was next level continental. They had more choices than any other continental breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. It is very close to Armstrong Redwoods. There is not a lot to do in the area but if you are looking for a relaxing place to enjoy the scenery and comfortable room with friendly staff you will really like this place.

Very peaceful location and friendly staff. Had a great glass of wine at the bar and a delicious German dinner.

Valentines Weekend Getaway. The perfect place—beautiful, quiet, excellent food.

Very nice Inn/Lodge in a beautiful location by the Russian river. 1-2 min walk to the river.Easy to get to places like Jenner , Occidental , Wine country etc.

Very good for the moneyClean and quiteBeautiful view

The lodge is a very nice building situated off the beaten path, next to The Russian River. The room was cozy and basic. They have a restaurant and bar but was closed on Wednesday.The reason I gave it four stars is because: 1) We arrived around 5, hungry and dissapointed to find out the restaurant was closed. 2) This being the case and because of it's remote location, there are not a lot of choices. It would have been nice to know ahead of time or have a sheet with information as to where to eat. The golf course, about two miles from the lodge, seemed like the only choice. 3) We were told to let ourselves in when we got back from dinner (the desk person left after checking us in) and to lock the front door when we got back. It does say on their information that the front desk is staffed during limited hours.The old lodge is very nice, udated, well kept but considering there was only one other couple staying, that we noticed, we didn't feel the front desk staff was very welcoming.

Stayed for one weekend. Good location. Nice being right on the water. Easy parking and check in. Very casual place. OLD bones - creaky floors and not very sound proof. But the owners were very nice and having the restaurant there was helpful. Unfortunately,  the 3rd floor "suite" had a fly issue. Some cracks in the door frame allow them in and each day,  they came in by the dozens. As long as you are OK with fly killing duty - its fine... but I would have preferred NOT to deal with that.

Weekend in the top floor suite

The hotel was right on the River. The restaurant was great . The owners were super nice, but not the type of owners that get to know their customers. They just say hi and bye and here’s your key. Just mentioning this because we are the type of travelers that like to get to know people a little, so we thought that was strange. Still loved the place. They do have balconies on the river, but we weren’t offered this option, so we were able to sit on the lawn behind the hotel and enjoy the river for a little while. The breakfast was great. Super clean. There are no heaters/ac in the individual rooms, they just have a main thermostat in the hallway set at 66 degrees. Super cute and super safe hotel.

Quaint Hotel in a Magical Place

It was nice having the balcony looking out at the river. Nice having the bar and restaurant. The hours were very limited but still nice.  Very friendly staff. The "breakfast" was ok, we thought there would be better selection.  Was easy to walk around Monte Rio area, which we really like. The Lodge has lots of character and we enjoyed our stay.

This place was the cutest little bed and breakfast around the scenic Drive to get there through the redwoods was my favorite. Once we got there, we didn’t have to leave the restaurant that is there is amazing and the breakfast in the morning was perfect! Would highly recommend this property to any traveler.

This was a cute little property right on the river. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was wonderful. The building is very old but clean. The only complaint was that it was loud, for instance when someone was showering in another room near us the pipes/water was super loud and the cars going by were loud (we were on the street side). The bar and restaurant were great!

The Highland Dell was an enjoyable stay for us. Our room, 102, was interesting. There was no thermometer setting available but I assume it was because it was certified as Green and all rooms were monitored as a whole. Room was relatively small but very clean. No closet, bathroom consisted of a toilet and shower. Sink, mirror, hairdryer were in bedroom area. Walking from the bed to the bathroom was literally down hill. Floor not level but not an insurmountable problem, just interesting. Dinner was very good on their Friday special of prime rib.

We loved our stay at this well appointed cozy beautiful hotel! The food was great (I had awesome schnitzel) the room was very pretty, and the service was excellent. I’m fairly picky and was delighted to be impressed!!! We also thoroughly enjoyed the location. It was just a stairway down to the river and we could walk to the redwood forest for hiking. Definitely will stay there again!!
